There is the fact that IT people, eventhough higher level staff and management have reports to write, there isn't the same requirement for speed that a person in HR or other area that writes reports every day and they have to be completed quickly and accurately.

That doesn't mean we IT people shouldn't worry about either, because we should. I think internal trainign could be suggested to those who "peck type". I can do a combination of multi-finger typing while looking at the keys and typing without looking and the reports I write have longer due dates so I don't need to worry about speed.

type very quickly with only 2 fingers. I have seen this. Why should they switch to another method if they are efficient with the one they are using?

Yes, Bill only uses two or three fingers to type. Do I need to say anymore?

STUPID ANSWER--WHEN YOU GET 85 B$ YOU TO CAN THEN TYPE WITH 2 FINGERS.

THERE ARE A LOT OF TYPING TUTOR SOFTWARE--BEST THING I TOOK IN HIGH SCHOOL WAS A TYPING CLASS.
YOU CAN GET TYPING TUTOR SOFTWARE FOR $35-50.

Too bad you didn't take an English class so you could have learned spelling and grammar as well. Then you could compose a meaningful, grammatically correct sentence. Typing class obviously did you no good, as they didn't teach you where the "Caps Lock" key was.

I was thinking the *exact* same thing as you. You merely beat me to the post.

..., everyone can see he's not a native!

Bill Gates was never an IT professional and made all his money through his marketing and business skills, so who cares how he types, it doesn't relate to the topic.

I type with two to four fingers and have received comments on my speed (both in the office and by friends at home).

My accuracy is not bad either as I learned programming (and typing) on card punch machines in the 70's and, without a backspace key, I hated retyping a whole damn card!!!
